Vols. I & II of ‘Citations Made Simple’ are now available for purchase!

Standard

I’m pleased to announce that the first two volumes in my latest series, Citations Made Simple: A Student’s Guide to Referencing, are now available for purchase in both print and digital forms!

This set of four guides correspond with four main formatting styles – APA, Harvard, Chicago, and Vancouver – and are written in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Information is given on the general requirements of each format, the correct way to cite sources, and all the formatting requirements for different types of bibliography entries.

The following ‘how-to’ information is included for each citation style:

* Referencing a Printed Book
* Referencing an Online Book
* Referencing a Section or Chapter of a Printed Edited Volume
* Referencing a Section or Chapter of an Online Edited Volume
* Referencing a Printed Journal Article
* Referencing an Online Journal Article
* Referencing a Printed Newspaper Article
* Referencing an Online Newspaper Article
* Referencing a Printed Report or Data Set File
* Referencing an Online Report or Data Set File
* Referencing a Dissertation or Thesis
* Referencing a Source Without a Named Author
* Referencing Visual Material

The first volume – looking at the APA (6th edition) format – is detailed below…

Citation is an underappreciated skill. Here in the former colonies, we have our own citation manual for lawyers, though: the Blue Book. But, since it is the legal biz, each state, er former colony, has its own rules, too. The more the merrier, Old Sport!

I know exactly what you mean – as part of the academic side of my work, I mark a lot of essays and dissertations, and am always amazed by the fact that correct citations are the exception, rather than the rule. It’s a pain because it takes a long time to correct, and it’s so quick and easy to learn how to do it right. Hopefully, these guides will be able to help out anyone in need who’s not quite sure how information should be presented in the different styles! 🙂
